“It’s not competition; we all raise each other up.”
 

Patty (@circularvintage) has been selling clothing, jewelry and various household goods online since 2000 on various platforms. My shop, Circular Vintage, officially launched on Etsy in 2015 and she’s sold in her squares and live on Instagram since 2019, and has booths in local antique malls. Her base of operations is her little house outside of Louisville, KY, from which she researches, cleans, and ships the thousands of items she sources. She loves the thrill of the hunt for fabulous true vintage clothing, jewelry, accessories and vanity items and the satisfaction that comes with passing them on to people who will treasure them and keep them from being relegated to a landfill.
